Old Fashioned Coconut Cake image

This is an old family recipe. It originally called for fresh grated coconut and coconut milk. Due to the fact that so many times the coconuts didn't have much flavor or were bad, this recipe was revised to use the frozen coconut. It is one of the best coconut cakes I have ever had!

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon coconut flavoring
1 cup milk
3/4 cup butter
3 (12 ounce) packages of frozen fresh grated coconut

Steps:

  • Combine eggs and sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
  • Add flour and baking powder and beat on low until smooth.
  • Add coconut flavoring.
  • Combine milk and butter in a saucepan and heat until butter melts.
  • Fold into other mixture.
  • Bake in 2 or 3 greased and floured 8 or 9 inch cake pans at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Thaw the packages of coconut.
  • Squeeze each opened package coconut over the cooled cakes so that the coconut "milk" is sprinkled over the cake and soaks into the cake. Ice generously with "Seven-Minute Frosting" (#96449).
  • Topping the icing with the coconut (in between the layers too!).

This cake is also a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few extra egg whites on hand, and this is a great way to use them up.

This cake is a great make-ahead dessert. You can make it a day or two in advance and then just store it in the fridge until you're ready to serve it.

The frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try using a different frosting next time.

The cake didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. I think I might have overmixed the batter.
